I was looking round the engine bay...
Im retarded..
I noticed my high pressure lines missing... heh
Bill called me to ask how it was going... I told him
He told me he would look around the shop for them tomorrow and let me know.
The accumalator and lines are Low pressure... I knew something was missign when i had no fitting on the Evapartor side... heh
So the wait continues!!!!!!

He can keep my intercooler and we will call it even if he gets me everything else since I only owe him $350 since I am not using their turbo or BOV. I jsut want the rest of my ****. AC lines, gaskets, couplers, vacuum lines, filter, intake pipe, v-band clamps, etc.

Hey.. someone want to find the post with what turbos were coming with the kit..
I was arguing with Marko today about what came with the kit... He told me 1 year warranty trouble free with the turbo and he stand by it.... Time to put it through the cycles then i guess...
He said GArrett like wheels... which could be any wheel i would think...
But mine looked up to be a Master Power t70...

Whatever this is : and our HF800 turbocharger
Im assumeing its whatever he wants it to be... A HiFlo 800 hp capable turbo?
In another thread he said the kit comes with a
"1. HF70+ 70mm
2. The HF70 will do that just fine. It is rated at 800 HP (crank)"

Yes, the base HF71 should support 800 crank horsepower. We offer a compressor cover upgrade which raises the horsepower rating to 850.
and once he said"
The back pressure should not be an issue as I will be will be using cut down versions of the GT series exhaust wheel on the C5 and C6 kits. Test have shown that backpressure was a non-issue at over 600 HP with the housings/wheels I have in mind.
he earlier said " It is hybrid 74 mm. I custom spec every turbo as I feel every application can benefit from some tweaking. Remember, most of the turbo's on the market are designed for the diesel industy. If they were to do all that research and develpment solely to sell to racing industry, they would have all been bankrupt by now. "
but then again he also said:

My 2 cents.
You bring up a very good point. The kits would be mass produced. I would be making a substantial investment and a substantial initial order to keep my costs down. Roughly 50-100 kits. I plan on always having complete kits in stock, something that I haven't see yet with turbo kit manufacturers. That's a big part of the reason behind this post.

It's sad when someone makes a big deal about cornering the market, and then does not even finish a handful of kits. Over half of the items missing on these kits are small items and don't even cost all that much especially when sourced in bulk.
Is Marko even giving Bill the money to finish the kits? That's what you need to know. I don't think Bill even goes to the 55 ******* location anymore. The end is here.

I spoke with Bill on Wednesday and he said he is not in charge of ordering the small things he said Marko has already ordered them, but I have been hearing that for over a month? I can't believe that Marko has ordered them if that is what he did over a month ago. The last intake pipe is still at the local welder should be finished this week. I am going to call Bill today and see if he can call the company where they were supposedly ordered and see if they really are ordered otherwise we customers probibly need to start paying for things ourselves.

I'd be happy to meet up with Bill and check out what is being shipped if he wants to schedule a time, but I'm not going to just pop out to 55 ******* because I don't think they are there that much and I think that Marko is leaving the space. To be honest, I think Bill is doing all he can.

John is anything gonna happen with that shop that is willing to help out? Did anyone volunteer with a complete kit to make a list of clamps and couplers and gaskets? I am beginning to doubt that Marko has ordered all those things? Not sure if he has ordered any BOV or WG's? Thanks John.

Yes, I have two local shops one of which just does custom fabrication that have offered to help source parts. Greg aka Smearin has also offered to take pics (has sent me some already) of his setup and to also help list what is needed.
I'd see what Bill says he's going to send in the next two weeks and then call it. You can always go after HiFlo in small claims court in the end. If those guys don't send you the small dollar items then Marko is showing he's not even trying make things right. I mean couplers in bulk are probably like $75 for each of you, and clamps, well, I would bet they would get them from McMaster Carr, where I have gotten them, as has other other shops, and they are $3-4 each. So again, if he's not going to do that little stuff then you have to do what you have to do.
I'm looking into small claims court for something else so I might know more about this week. But it sounds like it takes about six weeks to get a court date. I need to find out more about how they contact the other party, ie. does it have to be served by a sheriff or what. I'm guessing you if all file claims and show that to the courts, I think it would be taken very seriously.

Your right about Bill not being there much anymore that is what he told me on Wednesday. I just called him and his cell phone mailbox is full. He did let me know it was ok to call him anytime and that he would answer. If you could meet him and find out what is going to get shipped that would be a huge help and much appreciated John. Try and find out whats up with the BOV and Wg's since those cost a pretty penny. Let us know. Thanks.

Yea my turbo shop here in Ca can supply the gaskets, clamps, couplers since they are not that much. Or we can do a group purchase from the shop that is helping you and smearing. If you could just meet with Bill about the more expensive stuff like the BOV and WG and AC lines that would help us. Thanks and just let us know when your able too.
Also if we do a group purchase for all the misc couplers, clamps, gaskets I would like to be in on it.
